Extended Abstract: 

This session will focus on establishing a true collaborative partnership between yourself (Instructional Designer) and your Subject Matter Expert (SME). I will talk about the Miami E-Campus 3-Step Process for building courses and how I use that structure combined with my 1 on 1 meetings with the SME to establish trust and create a positive, productive working relationship. My personal interaction methods with my SMEs led to me receiving a 98 percent approval rating on my yearly review from over a dozen SMEs in multiple departments in 2021. A by-product of this has been an increase in requests for new asynchronous courses and refreshes.
